Hobbies [top >>]

Music

Classical - Chopin, Bach, Debussy, D. Scarlatti, M. Reger.
Folk - most of all songs and dances from the balkan region (Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Croatia, Bulgaria, Greece). I like also traditional music from many other countries (e.g. Armenian, Georgian, Jewish) as well as old Polish songs.

Sport

cycling tours
mountain hiking
table tennis
